After reading Lauren's blog post on Friday, I decided to join in a challenge and make a Christmas card, using supplies that are at least one year old. That was a little harder than I thought. I don't have a ton of Christmas paper and most of it I bought last season, but I did find some I've had for a couple (or more) years.
I used Christmas Delight/Great Big Cut-Outs from Little Yellow Bicycle, Simple Stories (don't know the paper name-- it's the ticket, holly leaves, "traditions," and the file tab at the bottom). The striped background is old too. I was down to about a three inch strip so I have no idea the company name-- sorry. The background text I've had for about 40 years (!), and the sheet music I picked up about four years ago.
Linking to Shop Our Stash and Jingle Belles. Thanks, folks!
It reminds me of the memory frames my daughter makes. Really nice.
